Chase’s Academy eyeing unbeaten Republic Bank title

Chase’s Academic Foundation are one win away from completing a perfect run in the ongoing Republic Bank Secondary School football league.
This is on the heels of another dominant win for the Parade Street, Georgetown outfit which came on Sunday afternoon at the Ministry of Education (MoE) Ground, Carifesta Avenue.

Bryan Wharton was, again, the mastermind of Chase’s dominance, netting a glut in the 9th, 15th, 27th, 32nd and 34th minutes. Isaiah Ifill registered a brace in the 14th and 16th minutes while solitary goals off the boots of Nyron Barrow (44th), Shaquan David (45th) and Darius Chester (47th) to sum up Chase’s 10-0 drubbing of President’s College.
Three Miles Secondary had earlier suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Charlestown Secondary.
Nicholas Nieuelder netted back- to- back goals for Charlestown in the 15th and 17th minutes while Dilshawn Alleyne added their third in the 18th.
The final clash of the day saw a riveting encounter between West Ruimveldt and South Ruimveldt Secondary, who were battling for the coveted second spot in the league. After a gritty back and forth between the two teams, it was Joel Griffith’s 38th minute strike that separated the sides in a 1-0 triumph for West Ruimveldt.
In other parts of the country, Annai and St. Ignatius Secondary began their battle to determine which Region 9 side will compete in the upcoming KFC Goodwill International Football tournament, also being organized by the Petra Organisation.
The encounter at the St. Ignatius Sports Ground ended 2-2, with the return game at Annai this Saturday, November 29, becoming all important. Annai netted both their goals in the first half while the hosts responded with strikes in the 58th and 67th minutes to level the scores.
Alongside the Region 9 winner, the second- place finisher in the Republic Bank League and defending champions Chase’s Academic Foundation will represent Guyana at the KFC Goodwill competition.
